Featured Producer this month is Levester White. Not to many Christians Artists in Austin.Tx can say they haven’t come across this Producer/Engineer/Artist for production or studio time. He is the “go-to” dude in that area. With the 2007 Texas Holy Hip-Hop Award and 10 years of experience under his belt, Levester is a force to be reckoned with. We got a chance to get up with the hardest working man in Austin.

When you meet someone with an amazing musical knowledge you expect them to be arrogant by letting you know that they’ve been doing longer than you been able to pull up your own big boy pants. Such is not the case with Joshua Toala Sr. He has the heart of a Lion, peaceful demeanor and a powerful outlook on his future based mainly on the learning experiences of his past. Enter stage left, a man who’ll readily admit he’s flawed but in the same breath will create a soundtrack that tells the story better than I ever could.

Every once in a while you get get an opportunity to sit and talk to someone who is obviously ahead of their time in whatever it is they do. Imagine talking to Michael Jordan while he was at The University of North Carolina and asking him about his work ethic then or bumping into a young Barack Obama while he was just dreaming of holding a seat in the most powerful house in the country. Their dreams might sound lofty at first but if you listen long enough you start to think, “Something about this person makes me believe that they are what the standard will be set at one of these days.” Courtney Peebles is one of those dudes. We’re jumping back into part 2 of our interview with the pure “sound garden” that is J.R. Dig in and take notes folks!

This month Featured Producer is one of my FAVORITE Producers of all time,somebody I look up to as a Artist/Musician. As a matter of fact, when I first met JR. in South Carolina, it was his testimony that push me to dream big and go for it. IMO a lot of people (a least in the urban culture) slept on his 2 albums Metamorphosis and Life By Stereo. He was before our time but,now we have no choice but to catch up with JR. Interviewed by my mang Swing. Here is Courtney Peebles a.k.a. JR.
